METAL/OXYGEN BATTERY WITH AN OXYGEN SUPPLY SYSTEM

摘要

A metal/oxygen battery (100) with an oxygen management system (150) includes a negative electrode (102), a positive electrode (104), a separator (106) positioned between the negative electrode and the positive electrode, a first oxygenated gas supply reservoir (166), a compressor (174) with an outlet fluidly coupled to the first oxygenated gas supply reservoir, and a valve and pressure regulator (162) fluidly coupled to the first oxygenated gas supply reservoir (166) and to the positive electrode (104) and configured to place the first oxygenated gas supply reservoir (166) in fluid communication with the positive electrode (104) during a discharge cycle, and place the positive electrode (104) in fluid communication with an inlet of the compressor (174) during a charge cycle.
